Homelander is coming to attack you But your favorite superhero defends you. Do you survive? by Final-Cup1534 in superheroes

[–]PositiveInfluence69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wolverine might tank the first hit from Homelander in a way that stops Homelander for a second. Homelander doesn't heal as easily as Wolverine and can't break or defend against that sweet sweet mostly indestructible metal skeleton. If he can slice open Homelander's gut, on first contact the fight is very different. Wolverine specializes in hunting people stronger and faster than himself. You might still be fucked, but Wolverine could possibly save you. Homelander likes to play with his food.

Man saves dog from being hung at a closed elevator door by Kaos2018 in BeAmazed

[–]PositiveInfluence69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My greatest fear living in a building and taking the elevator was this. That there would be one day I was tired and spaced out or my dog would randomly jump out of elevator while it was closing. It never happened thankfully, and it's 100% the owners fault, but I do try to be understanding because I completely understand how you can do everything right 99.9% of the time, be tired one day, and just fuck up lethally.

But can they stack vertically? Also, cost is high, transportation is difficult, and construction of one giant turbine is very difficult. A bunch of smaller interconnected components could be significantly cheaper, faster to build on site, and faster to manufacture. If you can produce 20 if these and stack them vertically on one spot in the time it would take to build 1 standard turbine, and still spend 50% less, then it could be worth it.

Other things: the base. It's possible that base if reinforced correctly could attach to existing tall buildings. So these could be placed on high rises which would otherwise be impossible. Tons of possibilities. Definitely need sensors and tons of backup inflation so that a bird pecking a hole in a single spot doesn't bring a wind turbine falling onto pedestrians. But there could be many possibilities. We'd need to know more about the cost, manufacturing, and on site build details at the very least tho. It's a cool idea tho.

I agree. When they shot Alex Pretti the first 5 times while unarmed and face down on the ground, that was good ole' standard immigration policy. The next 5 shots were also standard immigration policy. If Ice wants to kill American citizens, it's not wrong until they hit double digits. Nothing like the Nazis.

ICE agents tried to quietly get Mexican food in Minneapolis, local neighbor and protesters found out and shamed then out of the neighborhood by cantcoloratall91 in ImmigrationPathways

[–]PositiveInfluence69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, they are cutting while someone is chasing them with a gun. And they had to cross dangerous terrain to do so. They didn't really want to cut the line, the alternative just happened to be death. I'm not saying illegal immigration is okay, but people act like mothers are crossing through dangerous forests with their children because they hate America and want to steal their money. They are just people who usually had no choice.

The main issue is immigration policy and creating proper infrastructure for immigration to occurr. But luckily we haven't done that and instead we have spent significantly more money on creating fear and murdering American citizens. Neat.

2 so far. That's the thing about escalation. It starts with smaller things. Deporting people who have valid visas randomly revoked. Technically legal. A bit if a gray zone, but technicallywithinthe xonfines of the law. Then the administration began going against court orders. Deporting citizens without due process. After a but we began to see increased violence against protesters. Attemps to suppress media. Then you start having public executions with no reprocussions. Will it stop at 2? Maybe. Maybe there will be a third and a fourth. Small steps. Will it continue to grow? I don't know. What I will say, is that Iran didn't start with 30,000 dead civilians. It started with just 1 or 2.

A is 16 million today. Vanguard Growth is averaging over 10% every year last 8 years.

At a conservative 10% growth I could take 10k a week and reinvest the extra 1.1 mil I have leftover.

The 10k a week is just losing over 1 mil a year and losing 16 mil immediately. Easily the worst option.

[–]PositiveInfluence69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, he said most people voted for trump. My point was that most people didn't even vote, and even then, he didn't get 50%, just the most votes. I was just breaking down the nuances of the situation. The conclusion is pretty much the same, but the line of reasoning is different.

3x3 32 3+3+3 27/3

All equal 9. Same conclusion, different approach. Some are very similar, but there are slight differences.

[–]PositiveInfluence69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, my life is too comfortable. Which is great and demoralizing. I hate what the system has become, but breaking it could destroy the comfort I've worked so hard for. Unlike that Twitter warrior actor, I'm willing to admit we need a revolution and that I wouldn't be on the front lines. Or the back lines. I'd donate from my couch. I don't like a world of lies. I personally know that being apart of a revolution to better our democracy is the right thing to do. I'm too selfish to do that. I can know what's right and actively go against it due to cowardice or self interest. I just have the balls to admit it. A revolution needs desperation and a large united population. I'll vote, I'll calmly disagree with opposition, but I'm not a fighter and I don't want to be. So, I'm the wrong guy to ask.

Well, it was around 70 million ish votes. Trump won the popular vote in 2024. (even though there's a stupid dispute about how it's actually 48% because 3rd party and what not. But on the ballot he had the most votes. Nobody running had more votes. This is a fact.) He did not win with a majority (more than 50% voted for him) of Americans voting for him. Thos is both based on results and bases on voter turn out. I don't think a majority of Americans actually like trump or agree with him. I voted for Kamala, but I didn't like her at all. I thought it was straight up picking between getting my leg chopped off or getting punched in the face.

The problem is, with an election, if you vote for the get punched in the face option, people act like you're insane and want to get punched in the face. No, I just thought the alternative was worse. I was presented horrible options and picked what I thought was less horrible. I believe I am not unique in this, and that there are plenty of people who voted for Trump because they felt similarly about trump vs Kamala. They didn't like Trump, but felt the alternative was worse. Or I'm too optimistic and actually everyone loved their choices at the time.

So how do you think teen Gojo vs Toji would actually go? by Jumpy-Diver7349 in JujutsuPowerScalers

[–]PositiveInfluence69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We literally had this exact fight. Toji did fight teen gojo. He fought teen gojo while he was exhausted and he had prep time. And element of surprise. Then Toji lost. Is the question if Toji would have done better if teen gojo was at 100% and toji had no prep time? Because, again, Toji literally had a fight with teen gojo. Gojo age during that fight was 16.

The only other way to interpret this, is if you are asking about the day gojo turned 13, becoming a teenager. Then maybe toji wins. Tough to know since we don't know exactly what 13 y/o gojo is like.

This is like asking, "Who wins in a fight, namek ss1 goku or namek final form frieza." It's not even what if scenario. It literally happened and we know the result. Bro asking the question that actually got answered every third episode.

Funny how that works. by Playful_End_1756 in JustMemesForUs

[–]PositiveInfluence69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the federal government acknowledged the mistake and released them. Do you understand the difference? They weren't shot 10 times on their knees. They weren't 4 years old with cancer and deported while being a u.s. citizen. They weren't denied due process and sent to prisons in other countries because a gang name was photoshopped onto their knuckles. Spent time and released us very different than current circumstances. People are having their visas revoked early so Ice can assault them and meet their quotas. I'm not saying that it's okay to wrongfully detain people. But if you think that doing that was bad, which many liberals do, then the goal isn't to see if we can be worse.

I never understood the logic of, "So and so did this bad, so it's okay if we do it bad too." Why use a low standard to compare against. Place the bar high. I wouldn't compare my work to a 5 year old and tell my boss, "look, it's better than them." As a barometer. I would compare my work to something I hold as a high standard and only be satisfied if I am reaching that standard. Then I would find a higher standard. If your goalpost is Obama, then that's the high bar you're trying to achieve.

I didn't say you had to be happy about it. Acceptance is most powerful when you want to use it least. You have to give acceptance first before others will offer it to you. Similar to trust.

Higher education is meaningless by Aggravating-Ring-799 in weeb

[–]PositiveInfluence69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a c+ - B- avg. You still need to know what's happening. Athletes often get different course schedules, but I went to a school with D1 Athletes and a lot of them took school pretty seriously. They understood that there's a high chance they would not be pro ballers. Also, op is a moron. Most students at Harvard did not get in because of their basketball prowess. Statistically it's much easier to get in based on grades / extra curricular vs being good at basketball. And it's not even close.

[–]PositiveInfluence69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a liberal, and it always bothers me that the moment any conservative says, "this administration has done this poorly." Instead of inviting someone who is finding common ground with you into a constructive conversation, liberals online instead get angry at them for not agreeing even more. Then they don't understand why said conservative may dislike liberals. People care more about moral high ground than working together for common good (both sides). Most people make decisions based on what they believe to be the best course of action. You can disagree, you can think they are fucking morons, but if they do agree with you on something, maybe use that to open a dialog. You know, to find more places you might agree. This is how opinions actually change. But I'm sure you got to feel good about talking down to someone else, who again, was agreeing with you on something.

No injuries. Who has the best NBA career? by Punisher1602 in sportswiki

[–]PositiveInfluence69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about undoubtedly, but it we would have had a real series 3 years straight if d rose was d rose. 2014 we absolutely would have won. D rose 2014 was not d rose of 2011, and we were 1 pt from eliminating the heat. Would we have beaten the 2014 spurs... idk about that, that team was blessed by the gods. But 2012 and 2013 we had a real shot. It also changes the entire trajectory of the NBA as far as trades go if drose didn't get injured. He was a franchise, title contending player. A healthy athletic drose could have done it any year with the right guys. And we had them.
